succulents that look like brains Stenocactus multicostatus – Brain CactusDescription Light Soil Water Hardiness Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world famous for its "multicostatus" (many ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

  • Commonly known as the Brain Cactus or Wave Cactus, this is a small, globular cactus that looks like a living geometric puzzle. It is world-famous for its "multicostatus" (many-ribbed) structure, featuring dozens of thin, wavy, papery ribs that tightly pack the surface of the plant, mimicking the folds of a brain. Between these folds, small clusters of spines emerge, adding to its rugged, prehistoric aesthetic.

    This species is native to the high-elevation deserts of Central Mexico (specifically Coahuila, San Luis Potosí, and Zacatecas). Growing in limestone-rich soil among grasses, its wavy ribs are an evolutionary marvel designed to provide shade to the plant's body and allow for rapid expansion during rare rainfalls.

    The blooms of the Brain Cactus are as dramatic as its body. In early spring, large, funnel-shaped flowers emerge from the crown. These flowers are typically white or pale violet with a bold, dark purple or pink stripe running down the center of each petal, creating a striking "starburst" effect against the wavy green ribs.

  • Bright Indirect to Full Sun. High light is necessary to maintain the tight, wavy rib structure and encourage blooming.

    Mineral-Rich Cactus Mix. Prefers a very gritty soil (pumice, lava rock, and coarse sand) with very little organic peat.

    Low. Use the "soak and dry" method. Be careful not to let water sit in the deep folds of the ribs, as this can cause rot.
  • 9 to 11. Protect from frost; if kept dry, it can handle brief dips in temperature.

An L shirt for a real L person.
Special Size: Standard, Size: Large, Color: Wine Red
I love this shirt! I have been an "XL" guy for decades. Got back down to "L" a year ago. Finally bought some L shirts, starting with this one. Nice fit. Good stitching, tight buttons, crisp fabric. The button-down neck is sturdy and keeps a classic shape to it after several times through the wash. Not much stretch, so buy it if you are *really* a size L. But if you used to be a size XL, and came down a year ago, get one of these. You deserve it.
